Chapter 1 Introducing ViconNet

This chapter introduces ViconNet and the Virtual Matrix Display Controller software application and includes the following sections:

• What Is ViconNet?, page 2, provides a brief overview of the ViconNet software.

• What Is the Virtual Matrix Display Controller?, page 2, describes overall functionality of the Virtual Matrix Display Controller.

• UPS System Requirements, page 5, outlines the main ViconNet system requirements. • System Architecture, page 6, illustrates the system architecture.

(10)

2 • Introducing ViconNet XX177-02-00 Rev 410 Virtual Matrix Display Controller

What Is ViconNet?

ViconNet is innovative open-platform video management software that allows integration with IP cameras, encoders and IP edge devices, including megapixel cameras. Third-party cameras and edge devices from numerous industry-leading manufacturers are compatible with ViconNet software. Additionally, the ViconNet interface has integrated Events Management, ViconNet VI video intelligence and SMS access control. ViconNet is a fully scalable secure network solution for Windows® platform It allows viewing and recording of video from any camera anywhere on the network and integrates seamlessly with Vicon’s line of Kollector DVRs and NVRs. ViconNet version 6 offers H.264 compression in addition to ViconNet’s proprietary MPEG-4 optimized compression or JPEG compression.

What Is the Virtual Matrix Display Controller?

The Virtual Matrix Display Controller (VMDC) is a self-contained, matrix control solution for the ViconNet Video Management system, designed to provide users with the ability to direct network video to multiple monitor displays. The VMDC solution is comprised of both a matrix command/control center software interface and a hardware decoding component that enables the high-quality ViconNet remote network video streams to be displayed on multiple monitors in multiple locations. The design enables each operator to display any camera on any monitor connected to the network; control can be shared by multiple operators. Camera selection may be controlled via a dedicated keypad or by using the graphical user interface. This enhancement is specifically designed to support the typical environment of a command center which includes workstations and video walls.

Typically, a VMDC would be installed in the command/control center for the video management system and provide both local control of monitors in the center and remote control of monitors located elsewhere in the facility, including monitor wall displays. Each VMDC can control up to 6 high-definition monitors. Control of additional monitors is as easy as connecting additional units to the network providing a scalable, cost-effective management solution.

(11)

Frequently Asked Questions

The following set of questions and answers have been created to help customers get the most out of the potential of the Virtual Matrix Controller. Each question is a real-life situation answered by Vicon’s outstanding technical support group.

• What is the Virtual Matrix Display Controller (VMDC)?

The Virtual Matrix Display Controller is new product added to the Vicon product line. It is designed to simulate a traditional matrix crosspoint switcher and works together with the other Vicon products to allow displaying video on remote monitors.

• Is the VMDC a hardware or a software component?

Both. Vicon offers and recommends buying a pre-installed Controller that was specifically designed for this purpose. It is offered to work with 2, 4 or 6 monitors. If you prefer to install the software on your own hardware, the VMDC can be purchased as software only and installed on a 3rd party PC that meets the minimum requirements specified.

• Is VMDC dependent on a certain ViconNet software version?

Yes, VMDC only works with systems running ViconNet version 4 and higher. If your system is running an earlier version, contact your sales representative for an upgrade quote.

• Will the system settings made on other components of the system apply to the VMDC?

Yes, any system-wide setting you have configured on your system (groups, users, and so on) will apply also to the VMDC.

• Can a VMDC be used in the same system with PC-based viewing software such as

VN-WS-SW/VN-NVR-SW/VN-VIEWER-16?

Yes. As long as those systems are running ViconNet version 4 or higher, you can use both in the same system. The system Nucleus must be updated to latest version of software.

• Can a VMDC be a Nucleus for the system?

No. VMDC must be connected to a Nucleus running on another unit (such as a Workstation) in order to operate.

• How many users can share a VMDC?

If the users want to use the VMDC graphical user interface (GUI), then each operator must have his own system. If the user chooses to use CCTV keypads for controlling the VMDC, then four users (with four keypads) can share one VMDC.

• What is the maximum number of monitors each VMDC can control?

There is no limitation to the number of monitors the VMDC can control, but there is a limitation to the number of concurrent video streams that a VMDC can handle (150 at a time).

(12)

No. VMDC cannot serve as the video recorder in the system. The recording takes place in the DVR/NVR on the system. The VMDC can only record the displayed feed on its monitors and uses a different system’s drive to do so.

• Can I run VMDC and ViconNet viewer software on the same PC?

No. VMDC and ViconNet software can not run at the same time on the same system. If you choose to install both, you will have to shutdown one before running the other.

• Does VMDC require any special components?

Yes. The VMDC requires a video decoder in order to transmit the video so that it can be displayed on the monitors. A PC-based decoder is an integral part of the VMDC.

• Do I need a network to use VMDC or is it self-contained like an analog matrix?

Yes. The VMDC requires a network to connect to both the camera and the decoder. It can not run as a standalone unit like an analog matrix.

• Can I control both local and remote monitors?

Yes. The VMDC can control any monitor on the network that is connected to a VMDC or KRX-3. Each monitor can be divided into 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 or 64 segments (when using a KRX-3, this is limited to 4); there are a maximum of 150 video for each VMDC, regardless of how the monitors are segmented. • Can I use HD monitors with the VMDC?

(13)

UPS System Requirements

Vicon requires the use of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems in the electrical power service. Failure to comply with this will void the unit warranty.

Use the following minimum UPS requirements: • Capacity: 1250 VA/750 W

• Input:

• Voltage: 220 VAC

• Voltage Range: ±30% (with a 4-step AVR) • Frequency: 47 – 63 Hz (auto detection) • Output:

• Voltage: 115 VAC/ 230 VAC

• Voltage Reduction (bat. mode): ±10% NOTES:

It is required that external devices (such as SAN/RAID units, backup drives or external DVD units) be connected to the power source via UPS when used with the ViconNet system.

It is strongly recommended that the Virtual Matrix Display Controller’s hard disks be formatted to the NTFS system format.

When rack mounting any Virtual Matrix Display Controller configured in a rack-mounted PC, it is necessary to leave 1U (1.75 in./44.45 mm) of space between the units.

Device Type Description

Video or Camera – Fixed camera or PTZ camera dome Audio Microphone

Detector Sensor Relay Relay Speaker Speaker NOTES:

The cameras that appear in the Sites list are automatically detected by the system during startup. If a camera is not physically connected to the system, it will not appear in the list. If the camera is disconnected after startup, a red X icon ( ) is displayed next to the relevant camera in the Sites list, and a blank screen appears in the Video Display area.

Selecting a device starts that device's video/audio transmission and enables you to perform all viewing, listening and recording operations.

(24)

Using the Sites list, you can select or deselect cameras and microphones for viewing and recording, as follows:

To view a camera or hear a microphone:

• Select a camera in the list or drag and drop it from the list to a monitor icon in the Monitor Display

Layout. As an alternative, a camera can also be dropped directly onto the remote monitor. Right clicking

the device will give you a Preview in the Video Display Area. The following occurs: • The camera icon in the Sites/Maps/Groups list appears highlighted in yellow.

• The icon appears in the Monitor Display Layout. The live video transmission begins and is displayed on the remote monitor in the location selected in the Monitor Display Layout.

• If the Video Display area at the bottom of the Main window is turned on, the video from the selected

camera is displayed therein. There is a spotlight from the monitor to the Video Display area. For instructions on how to turn the Main window video display on and off, refer to Chapter 4, Viewing Live

Video/Audio.

Note: All the cameras in a site can be viewed on a multiple display monitor by dragging the site to the selected monitor; select the monitor display mode from the Display Mode selection key.

• Select a microphone by clicking its icon in the list. The following occurs: • The icon appears highlighted in yellow.

• The audio transmission begins. NOTES:

If a camera is already recording (for example, if recording was started from the transmitter), the icon in the list will already appear in yellow).

A video that was activated by a macro is indicated in the Monitor Display Layout by the icon.

To reverse a selection:

Select the device in the list again. The following occurs: • The icon is not highlighted in the list (it is gray).

• The live video and audio transmission is stopped. The Video Display area and monitor display location

are cleared, and the Monitor icon is cleared in the Monitor Display Layout.

You can change the maximum number and location of the cameras you want to view/record on the remote monitor, as described in the Monitor Display Layout section, page 26, and the Display Mode Controls section, page 27. Refer to Chapter 4, Viewing Live Video/Audio, and Chapter 5, Recording Live Video/Audio, for detailed procedures using the Sites or Groups list.

(25)

Site Map

The ViconNet Site Map provides you with the ability to define the location of Kollector units, cameras and microphones on a map of the physical environment/premises. Maps can be grouped into map sets. The map set you are currently working on is called the working set. The Working Set site maps can be viewed by clicking on Site Map in the left hand panel of the Main window. The Site Map list can be navigated in the same way as the Site List. However, the devices in the Site Map list are organized by maps and map sets, not by site (meaning, by physical location of devices as opposed to by device name).

You can define your maps and map sets by selecting Map Sets from the System Settings window. The image in the lower-left panel changes according to the object selected in the Site Map.

Maps are loaded in to the system using the Add New Map utility. (For more details, refer to the Defining Site

Maps and Map Sets section in Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet system.) Maps can be loaded from CD

media or a USB drive.

The picture can be dragged to the middle of the editing space and then expanded or navigated and so on, as described below.

(26)

The following options are available for working with the selected map in the Map Set:

Enables you to navigate to the parent map.

Enables you to navigate to other maps in the Map Set. Enables you to remove text labels from the map. Enables you to expand the picture.

Enables you to return the map to its previous state (expansion). Enables you to maximize the map to fit the entire screen.

Enables you to close the map image. The Site List tab is redisplayed in the left-hand panel.

Devices (cameras, encoders, decoders and so on) can be added to a Site Map by dragging them directly to where they are located on the map of the physical location.

To activate or deactivate a camera, click the camera icon on the map. If the camera icon is flashing, it is deactivated. If it is steady, it is active.

NOTE: If there are two monitors connected to the VMDC, clicking Site Map in the Main window opens the map set (the Working Set) on the second monitor.

For more details about Site Maps, see Chapter 3, Configuring the ViconNet System.

Groups List

The Virtual Matrix Display Controller Groups list displays the transmitters and devices (cameras and microphones) connected to your ViconNet system organized by logical groups and group sets. Each group can contain devices from multiple distinct transmitters and can be formed according to any criteria, such as: location, camera type, and so on. Like the Sites list, the Groups list is a hierarchical list, which can be navigated using standard tree expand and collapse functionality.

A Group Set usually consists of various related groups of devices. For example, in a large company with several multi-storey buildings, there may be a Group Set for each building. In each Group Set (building) there could be a number of Groups, each one for a different floor.

You can define your Groups and Group Sets by selecting Groups Sets from the System Settings window. NOTE: When defining device groups in the Devices Group Sets Management window, you can define one

Group Set as the Working Set. This is the Group that will appear in the Groups list in the Main window. To view a different group set, you must change the working set in the Devices Group Sets Management window.

Groups are loaded in to the system using the Add New Group utility. (For more details about defining groups and group sets, refer to the Defining Groups and Group Sets section in Chapter 3, Configuring Your Virtual

Matrix Display Controller.)

NOTE: The Groups list is only enabled after at least one group has been defined in the Devices Group Sets Management window.

Remote Monitors

Using the Virtual Matrix Display Controller, ViconNet live and recorded video displays on remote analog monitors and control simulates that of a crosspoint switcher, as in a command center. The Virtual Matrix allows you to take advantage of the analog monitor’s size, quality and visibility. The remote monitors provide you with the ability to view multiple very large video displays from multiple viewers simultaneously.

In order to translate the digital video from the network to analog (composite, VGA, S-Video), a decoder is required. The VMDC includes an integral PC-based decoder that can control up to 5 monitors; a version can be on a dedicated PC and control up to 6 monitors. Each monitor can then display up to 64 video streams. This decoder supports VGA and DVI/HDMI.

The KRX-3 Decoder can be controlled by the Virtual Matrix Display Controller, with up to three monitors connected to each decoder; multiple KRX-3 Decoders can be used. There are two types of displays: analog (three BNC and two S-video connectors) and digital (two VGA). Only three connectors, in any combination (for example, two BNC and one VGA), can be configured simultaneously. When using third party megapixel cameras, the KRX-3 must be set for displaying their videos. When doing so, only 2 channels will be available in the KRX-3.

About Picture Quality and Refresh Mode

Each ViconNet video has a quality level and refresh mode configured (manually or automatically) at the time of it is recorded. The notation at the bottom-left of each remote monitor display location (meaning, for each camera) indicates the picture quality and the refresh mode of the image in the view.

Picture Quality and Refresh Mode Picture Quality and Refresh Mode

For example, indicates the quality 5 at the Normal refresh mode. These concepts are described in the

Picture Quality and Monitor Refresh Modes sections below.

NOTE: Whether or not the picture quality and refresh mode notation is displayed on the monitor is defined in the Text Settings window, as described in Chapter 3, Configuring Your Virtual Matrix Display

(40)

Picture Quality

Picture quality (also known as resolution) refers to the compression level of the video images. The following qualities are available for recording purposes in ViconNet compression mode:

Quality Type Properties

1

4 CIF

Better picture quality, but slower data transmission. 2 3 2 CIF 4 5 CIF

Less clear picture quality, but faster data transmission. 6

7

HCIF 8

The quality and refresh mode in which video was recorded is displayed during the first five seconds of playback.

In the case that the camera is used at the source, the recorded video quality is determined according to priority setup. If the VMDC is the sole user of the camera, then quality is determined by the VMDC, manually or via a macro. For additional details, refer to the relevant sections in Chapter 3, Configuring Your Virtual

Matrix Display Controller and Chapter 3, Configuring Your ViconNet System in your Kollector, IP Camera or

Server software manual.

When different recording options are requested concurrently, the recorded picture quality that applies is determined according to prioritization settings in the picture quality and FPS priority settings in the camera's source site.

NOTE: For details on how to configure Auto Record, Pre/Post-Alarms and FPS priority settings, refer to your Kollector or Workstation software manual.

The single mode is assigned the highest available resolution, while other modes are automatically assigned quality 5 on starting a camera.

NOTE: From the VMDC, you can select single, quad, 9, 16, 25, 36 and 64 display modes. When the

button in the Main window Function Controls area is selected, you can manually override the display mode-determined live picture quality for the currently selected camera using the popup

. The qualities 1 to 8 are available for this purpose. The quality and refresh mode of the live video is displayed according to the settings in the Text Settings Configuration window.

(41)

Monitor Refresh Mode

The refresh mode refers to whether all the frame data (Full mode, represented by an F in the bottom-left of the camera view in the monitor) is displayed each time or only when changes occur in the frames (Normal mode, represented by an N in the bottom-left of the camera view) are displayed. The view image is automatically played back in the refresh mode in which it was recorded. For I-Onyx 9xx and third party cameras there is no N designation. The mode will either be F (full motion JPEG) or MPEG (H.264).
